We are still in China, but now in the province of Hainan in the very south of the country. Join me!

Online in China

I finally bit the bullet and signed up with a service that allows me freedom of information and speech in China. For the last two months, I've been without Youtube, Facebook, Blogger, and a host of other random sites that are apparently too dangerous for a mind on the brink of independent thought. For those who fell into the abyss too long ago to remember, the sudden inability to access basic modes of self-expression is odd. I decided to just live with it as I still had access to Wordpress and my other blog, The Good villager, but that changed recently. Not sure whether my ISP was the culprit, but I suddenly found that Wordpress was taking a long time to load and when it did, none of the formatting was there. Impossible to use. That decided me. I have to write and communicate. Eating, sleeping, breathing, writing, sharing ideas. They are basic needs to me.

The Good Villager is covering a lot of stuff. I had mentioned that I wanted to bring Something To Chew On back to its original intention - covering farmers markets and related things. I may just do that. Stay tuned...
